## Primary expertise

- Strategic technology advisory

## Best-fit situations

- A founder needs CTO-level judgement before customers, investors or a delivery partner depend on an AI-built product.
- A technology leader needs an independent view on whether a product, platform or programme is ready to scale.
- An enterprise team needs help making the current situation visible before committing to a major systems decision.
- A programme needs clearer transition states, ownership and architecture judgement before delivery accelerates.
- An AI-enabled workflow or product needs hardening before it becomes an operational dependency.

## Published notes

- When a systems decision needs a shared business picture: a strategic note on a large UK retailer, a second attempt at unification, and how discovery helped create a shared business, technology and executive picture.
- What building a multi-script static web app with AI taught me about UX and domain precision: a practical note on a multi-script static reader, UX hierarchy, transliteration edge cases, data nesting and domain precision.
- What building this site with AI taught me about production-readiness: a practical note on AI-assisted website building, what broke, what had to be challenged, and why production-readiness still depends on human judgement.
